sure sign of climate change

Published Mar. 28, 2008

This is an article in our newspaper about a Polar Bear in Fort Yukon...hundreds of miles away from its natural environment!!  It had to be killed, but it seems to be some kind of sign....not sure what kind of sign, but some kind none the less.

Hey John..I'd never thought of the fishy tast, but that makes good sense. I've had black bear before at one of the Wild game Cookoffs my sons and I went to over the years. Strong flavor but it was not bad. Beaver on the other hand....;)

"Is it possible that the bear just got lost? I mean I'm not sure about the "warming" possibility"

Maybe it was a male and wouldn't ask for directions.

I'd like to eat some. Heck I'll eat anything. Hate to see something go to waste.

Hey Old Reb, I meant to say, I am sure the meat would not be very good. Bear meat is really good if the bear has been eating roots and berries, but when the salmon run, and they are eating primarily fish, they taste awfully fishy!! I like to say if you shoot a fish bear, you get two for one, your bear protien and your fish, but it honestly does not taste very good! Have a good day ya'll.

This is a HUGE isolated incident!! In my almost three decades, this bear is still 250 miles south of anywhere I have ever heard of them being. Also, this is the only bear that considers US to be food!! Coming this close to the village, she was sure to be a huge problem, possibly killing a child or even adult. Something had to be done, everyone in our Fish and Game are astonished and would have said this was impossible.

John, thanks for the post. It is sad to see that. I hope it is not a sign of things to come.

Is it possible that the bear just got lost? I mean I'm not sure about the "warming" possibility.
